SOLVE CRIME OF WEEK

Crime Solvers, a volunteer group that assists area police, is asking residents to help solve the Crime of the Week.

This week, the group is targeting an increase in automobile vandalisms across the county. Police reports show the hardest hit area is Finksburg.

The police are focusing on a series of incidents that occurred on Sept.

22.

In one case at the Sandymount Park and Ride, a driver's vent window and rear window of a 1986 Ford pickup truck were broken out by what investigators believe to be a projectile from an air rifle.

The left rear window of a 1989 Volkswagen Jetta was broken out while it was parked at the owner's residence off Old Westminster Pike in Finksburg.

The object used to break the window has not been determined by police.

On the same day the Jetta was damaged, the rear window of a 1988 Nissan also was broken by a thrown rock while it was parked along Old Westminster Pike, police said.

Police said the owners of the damaged vehicles have suffered significant monetary losses and have been inconvenienced by the temporary loss of the use of their cars.
